This Crockpot Ravioli Lasagna offers a delightful twist on the classic lasagna, utilizing frozen cheese ravioli to simplify preparation without compromising on flavor. It's a perfect solution for busy weeknights, delivering a hearty, cheesy meal with minimal effort.
1 pound ground beef
1 can (24 oz) pasta sauce
1 package (25 oz) frozen cheese ravioli
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon Italian seasoning
Prepare the Meat Sauce: In a skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef until browned, breaking it up as it cooks. Drain any excess fat. Stir in the pasta sauce, garlic powder, and Italian seasoning. Simmer for 5 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
Assemble in the Crockpot: Spread a thin layer of the meat sauce on the bottom of the crockpot. Add half of the frozen cheese ravioli, followed by another layer of meat sauce. Repeat the layers, ending with a final layer of meat sauce on top.
Add the Cheese: Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella, cheddar, and Parmesan cheeses evenly over the top layer of meat sauce.
Cook: Cover and cook on low for 4-5 hours or on high for 2-3 hours, or until the ravioli is tender and the cheese is bubbly and golden.
Serve: Let the lasagna sit for 10-15 minutes before serving to allow the layers to set.
